Prologue
St Grail's Hospital was always a common place to see Suzie Davies like a prison cell. She was the type of woman who would snap your neck if you lay a hand on her child and then beat the shit into the kid for letting someone touch them. You think that's for their protection? Well your wrong she just does it for the fight, the thrill of watching someone lying on the floor with their nose leaking blood while clenching their stomach where she most probably hit them with a pole of some kind. She was 27 years old and had nothing to show for it , well just very heavy eyes and a house which had the stench of a drug farm. She lived in number 23 Swanway Lane after she was evicted from her last address for threatening her neighbours. Her two children named Tommy 12 and Danny 10 were both left starving due to the fact that she had spent her benefit money on Class B drugs. She had little education due to dropping out of school at the age of 15 after she had become pregnant with Tommy. Her mother Barbara thought she would have changed by getting up and doing something with her life when Tommy was born. She was wrong in the second week Tommy was dropped at Barbara's house in Essex while Suzie went on a hunt for a man. When she turned 18 she gave birth to Danny, with a man named Henry who was 24. He couldn't believed that he had a child so early on in life and realized it would be a curse to keep it so he ran away leaving Suzie feeling angered and depressed, she took this anger out on Danny and Tommy, Social Services were called in many times during the years that Tommy and Danny were growing up due to the fact they made at least 8 hospital visitors every six months due to a broken limb. It got harder and harder for Suzie to keep going on, she was put on suicide watch twice. Once because she was about to jump into The Thames off Blackfriars Bridge, the second time was due to a near drug overdose. She has been put in jail due to assault and possession of drugs, Suzie life was not worth living ... until she met David.
David was a man from Manchester who had a rough up bringing but manage to be reasonably successful in school. He worked at the Coats and Arms in Chiswick when Suzie met him. She was there with her supplier as she had refused to pay for the crack cocaine. The supplier had decided he had enough with the lies and decided to end their deal permanently. He stabbed Suzie three times in the chest behind the pub. David had come round the back on his break and saw her lying on the floor in a puddle of blood, her skirt was ripped and had now been painted red. The stab wounds were clearly noticeable as each one made a jagged imprint in the surface of Suzie's flesh She had been raped and was left to die sprawled out in the middle of a car park alone. David called an ambulance instantly and went to the hospital with her, she managed to survive
There was the smell of hand lotion and overpowering cleaning products as Suzie Davies was rushed down the corridor of St Grails Hospital. She was wearing a large pink dressing gown with a red nightie underneath. Her hands were clutching her stomach and her head was jolted forward, she was letting out discomforting wails as the paramedic pushed the wheelchair. "Everything is going to be okay" squawked a south London accent "Mum I've done this twice before"replied Suzie still withering in pain "Yeah and look how they turned out, Tommy got community service the other day" said Barbara now out of breath from the running up the corridor. "I've got David now anyway" groaned Suzie "I've seen him and he clearly has an anger issue, what is the point of bringing another life into the world If you cant' look after it properly" she replied " I mean look he's not even here for the birth, If he is so different and special where is he?" The wheelchair turned a corner and entered Delivery Room 6...
Suzie gave birth to another boy and she named him Peter James, David and Suzie got married soon after Peter was born and it had seemed that everything was going well with the family to the outside world. However David had never really wanted to be lumbered with someone else children. He would go on to leave Suzie and the three children when Peter turned one, this left Suzie with a problem as she had no money due to David being the one who worked and brought the money to the household. Suzie was no longer able to cope and soon ended up where she had started. standing on Blackfirars Bridge with nothing in the world to hope for after all she couldn't go to her mother as Barbara had passed away 6 months after Peter was born. Suzie had found her corpse in the bath her head slumped to one side, she had been suffering with Conros Disease which caused her to have a stroke while in the bath. Standing on the barrier of Blackfriars Bridge Suzie realized who and what she was... a useless woman who was an extreme addict that had nothing to live for. She jumped from the bridge and was dragged under by the currents of The Thames her mouth soon filled with the thick, black water it engulfed her lungs as she chocked on it,trying to breath in but there was nothing but liquid. Her body was never found.
